Chapter 5: Order of 10 Pt. 2

A/N: Sorry people, real life has been trying to keep me from giving you all this greatness. Fair warning, this chapter might seem a little rushed but it should be better in the next chapter. I hope you all enjoy.

"Mom, you can't keep treating me like this! I am supposed to be the next hope of the family, and yet I must wake up to attacks on my life daily. I demand for a more humane treatment." Leo held up his hand, and with a quick flash of silver light, a simple white bandana covered in complicated looking silver scribbles appeared in his hands. 

Holding his final set of 'training weights' Leo held back a sigh as he looked upon his final test. It should be known, that though Leo was given permission to use his bloodline abilities after mastering them, he has not been allowed to open his eyes since the day he was officially born. 

Not willing to let himself be essentially blind for most of his childhood, Leo had begged his dad for techniques to give him another form of sight. Naturally, his father, who loved being viewed as a being of uncomprehensible power by his son went out of his way to make a whole new type of energy that can only be cultivated by a member of their family and those, they give permission to.

The energy does way more than simply let Leo see his surroundings as if he still had eyesight and was so advanced that Leo had decided to use it for his foundational technique over the one given to him by the system for completing his birth. 

The exact details of the energy still escape him, but he knows that at its core the purpose of the energy is to gather the essence of the practitioner and refine it into a higher-level composite energy that has been perfectly tailored to increase the overall existence level of the practitioner. 

Currently, Leo has almost completed the first level of the technique. After his final training for his dad's bloodline is finished today, he can finally begin to incorporate it into his cultivation technique and officially begin on his path to strength. 

Naturally, when talking about strengthening himself, Leo's first thought turned to his achievement system and his face grimaced as he held back the fury that useless garbage brought him. He can still remember how excited he had been to get rewarded for all his experiences. 

And yet, looking at the panel that floated in his mind's eye remained the same. [Host Status: Pending Birth] and as if that wasn't enough, whenever he tried to figure out why the system was acting up, he got the same notification from the HR that apparently came with his system. [Host system is functioning normally, stand by for rewards to be applied after hosts body has adapted to home dimension] 

Seeing that phrase, Leo remembered the pain he felt when he finally learned that his body wouldn't adapt to this place fully until he ascended in his own right and officially earned the right to live there. Because although he was born there, the dimension only gave him half of the benefits he would have enjoyed had he ascended on his own. 

Depending on his own growth, he should be able to be fully accepted by this dimension upon becoming a 1-star Universe Master. That still meant he would have to first conquer an entire universe and refine its Will into his own. As daunting as that task should and would be, after the past 10 years Leo was confident that he wouldn't need more than 3 years to complete this task. 

It may sound crazy, but Leo had already learned exactly why his parents were so revered and what it meant to be not only their first progeny, but also to be born in this dimension. Normally, a couple like his parents would only be able to pass on one of their bloodlines in a pure state or be forced to mix both to ensure that the baby and mother would survive with no problems. 

Due to the astounding bloodline purity that had achieved atavism and continued evolution from both of his parents, Leo's parents were unwilling to let their bloodline weaken. It was only after spending a thousand years searching for solutions that they were able to find out that their solution lied in this natural Source World. 

By settling in this naturally occurring Source World, Leo's parents were able to have a child that inherited both of their talents perfectly, aka Leo. It was believed to be a miracle to have a baby inherent two bloodlines, much less such high level and pure bloodlines. 

By all accounts, Leo should have burned up in a nova of his own incomprehensible power and potential bursting out as he formed in the womb. It was only thanks to the extreme and foreign energy of this reality forcefully compressing his essence until his body had been formed in his mother that he was even here at all. 

With all sorts of halos covering him, Leo felt he would be an embarrassment to his family lineage and parents if he couldn't even become a Universe Master by the time he was officially a teenager. His parents supported his idea, and their only concern lay in the fact that he seemed to not be interested in combat. 

Which, if Leo had to be honest, was not entirely true. The problem was that Leo's current powers made him aspire to become a sort of combat mage that was mixed with a summoner to become a one-man army. 

Take for example, his mother's bloodline belonged to an extraordinary 9th level Beast controlling clan that had dominion over countless universes and realities. As the princess of the clan, and part of the line of succession, Lenora's powers were evident from her birth. 

She was born with two life bonded Divine Beasts with 10th level potential, and upon opening her eyes for the first time the Divine Grimoire and Evil Altar both revived themselves and committed themselves to her, showing up in front of all realities for the first time in many Epochs. 

A true natural born Empress, who faced countless realities and ancient entities all by herself. She was known back then to either be your saving light of grace, or your one-way trip to hell. There was no place she dared not go, and no one who dared to fight her amongst all her peers. 

Naturally, after completely subduing all her competitors in her home reality she ventured out to compete in other level 10 realities in hopes of becoming even stronger. All that being said, it is common knowledge that her talents are deserving of a legend in their own right. 

She accomplished all of this while never throwing a single punch personally, she was simply never forced into needing to. That is not even mentioning all the other abilities she and Richard had passed down to Leo. 

 So, it was safe to say, Leo simply couldn't find combat fun right now. Either he was so much stronger or more talented than his opponent that they could do nothing, or they were so much stronger than him that he couldn't gain any effective training from them. 

Even so, Leo went out of his way to practice by himself every day for 8 hours, and at this point he was already feeling pretty OP. He was currently working on his molecule manipulation, with the goal of recreating his reality manipulation with a more efficient energy usage.
